Dams and dikes would form a basin which could contain eight billion gallons of water. During slack energy periods, electricity generated at other Con Ed plants would be used to pump water into the reservoir; during peak periods, this water would be released to generate electricity to meet the increased demand. Ironically, five kilowatts of energy produced elsewhere would be needed to obtain four kilowatts from the Storm King project...

For old time's sake the candidate could still schedule a couple of speeches a week in distant cities, give those hours to the archaic evenings of smoke and oratory, pump the hands of people at the fences and endorse the local candidates.

To that, environmentalists reply that there are countless unreported small leaks that together pump far more pollution into the sea than the big spills...
